In the first few weeks of Michaelmas, CUYC racing will hold a meeting to present the programme. If you come along to this you can make yourself known to the VC-racing and the Racing Officer and we can answer any questions you have. We will then hold on-the-water and land-based sessions as follows:
These introductory sessions serve to bring new sailors into racing, even those who may not have prior sailing experience. They also serve to help the racing captain make selection for the Blues squad. Over Christmas, the Blues squad (top eight student sailors) are selected. This squad will target the BUSA and Varsity races and continue with the programme as above.
If you're a fresher or not already on our mailing lists, make sure you come along to our fresher's fair stand to get signed up. Once you are on our mailing lists you will be kept up-to-date about racing and the racing presentation. If you're a fresher, there's no need to do anything until you get here to Cambridge.
If all else fails, email us at info@cuyc.org.uk for the attention of the vc-racing (and definitely before the end of Michaelmas, when squad decisions start being made).
